Stacia A. Hylton
US Marshals Service
This week's program will be chaired by Gene Coon.
Stacia Hylton is a distinguished public servant, business leader, and former Director of the United States Marshals Service (USMS), the nation’s oldest federal law enforcement agency. Over the course of a career spanning more than three decades in federal service, she earned a reputation for tactical strength, operational leadership, executive judgment, and the ability to lead effectively in some of the nation’s most demanding assignments.
A graduate of Northeastern University, where she attended on a full athletic scholarship and earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Criminal Justice, Ms. Hylton began her career as a Deputy U.S. Marshal. She served in the District of Columbia, the Southern District of Florida, and the Eastern District of Virginia before rising through the ranks of the Marshals Service into a series of increasingly significant operational and executive leadership roles.
In 2010, she was appointed by the President of the United States and confirmed by the United States Senate as Director of the U.S. Marshals Service. Her career reflected trusted leadership under administrations of both political parties and a consistent commitment to serving the best interests of the country and the greater good above politics. As Director, she successfully led one of the federal government’s most historic and operationally complex law enforcement organizations, where she became known for establishing tactical training and safety measures for high-risk fugitive operations that significantly reduced the loss of life.
Following her government career, Ms. Hylton brought her leadership experience to the private sector through executive, board, and advisory roles. She served as Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of a privately held digital intelligence and forensic technology company and provided strategic consulting to companies operating in government contracting, security, and technology. She has also served on public company boards, including as Chair of a Cybersecurity Committee, bringing expertise in governance, cyber risk, national security, and emerging technology.
Across every chapter of her life and work, Stacia has been known for a bipartisan approach to public service, a strong belief in the rule of law, respect for community policing, and an unwavering commitment to serving God and country, always.
